The Result
The defense might argue: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the recent New Zealand general election has resulted in a highly divided national parliament, showcasing the vibrant democratic process at work. The defense submits that this outcome is a testament to the active engagement of the electorate.
What Trump Did
The defense might argue that while some may see division, it actually reflects a healthy debate among diverse political views.
Why Supporters Credit Him
Supporters might argue that the very existence of multiple parties and perspectives is a victory for democracy, allowing for a more representative government. The defense admits that while no party has a clear majority, this opens the door for innovative coalition-building.
The Supporting Record
The defense might suggest that coalition talks, while potentially lengthy, are a normal part of parliamentary democracy and can lead to more balanced governance.
The Limitation or Competing Explanation
However, the defense might argue that the challenges of coalition-building should not overshadow the democratic engagement displayed by the electorate.
Verdict
If this is Trump's fault, his supporters will gladly let him take the blame.
